Scanbur Symposium 2° April 2014

By Giorgio RosatiProduct Manager Vivatronics

The STRATEGY of the VIVATRONICS product line is to enrich the electronic functionalities of Tecniplast equipment in a easy and intuitive way to allow a better overall management of the vivarium. Basic data collection, Alarm functioning, etc. can be all or part of any system.

Transmitter called

TXReceiver called

RX

PRODUCT COMPOSITION

DEFINITION:A Wireless system that monitors the status of the animal holding equipments.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:A transmitter TX is mounted on the AHUs and sends RF signals to a receiver RX located outside the rooms.

All the alarms generated by the AHUs will be sent to the RX and displayed on the screen.

CONFIGURATIONS:

An RX can collect up to 10 TXs.

RX will display the AHUs in alarm and the type of alarm detected.

If the user needs to monitor more than 10 AHUs, more RXs are needed. There is then another component, called collector CX that can manage up to 10 RXs.

FEATURES:

RX can be equipped with phone dialer (RXC).

CX is always factory equipped with phone dialer.

All the alarms have to be pre-set as level 1 or level 2 and sent to 2 different groups of phone numbers. (5 phone numbers and 4 phone numbers respectively). 900MHz

Optional connection – the specific RX is called RXC

FEATURES:

The same pre-set levels can be managed by the customer’s BMS, through available dry contacts located inside the RX and CX units.

BMS will receive a generic alarm (as level 1 or level 2) from the RX (or the CX), but it cannot know which is the specific AHUs in alarm. Transmitter TX Receiver RX Collector CX

The RAS KIT:

Using a special BATTERY POWERED TX, if you are not fully sure that the product can correctly work in the facility, you can SIMULATE the final behavior just using the

coverage is OK

Current COMPATIBLE AHU to be retrofitted with RAS:

DEFINITION:A Wired/Wireless system that controls and monitors the status of the animal holding equipments.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:Specific HW is connected to the AHUs. It sends all the parameters of the AHUs to a Software installed on your server machines. The software is a web based application, available through internet.

TCC

CONFIGURATIONS:A Tecniplast Control Center TCC (it is a web application) is required for managing all the AHUs.This shall be installed on a dedicated Server with specific requirements.Each AHU has to be registered on this TCC server during the set up of the product.A TCC can manage “unlimited” AHUs.Each Client, working on the same network of the Server, can access to the TCC software using any web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Safari, etc.)

SERVERTCC is installed on it

ClientUsing any web

browser

FEATURES:

Through the SW, the USER can:

- Display the current status of any AHUs linked to the system

- Be alerted via email/sms if any AHUs in alarm.

- Control current AHU parameters and pre-set limits.

- Immediately locate the position of the AHU in alarm through the buoy.

- Store all the historic data related to all the parameters of all the AHUs.

BUOY CONCEPT:

As general definition, the BUOY is a floating device that is anchored somewhere to be considered a stationary reference.

WDM buoy is a “virtual” assignation of a USB key S/N to a fixed place (i.e. a position inside a room).In this way, any AHU “attached” to this WDM buoy is considered by the system as in this precise room and position.

Advantages:1. Each AHU will have a precise current position inside the facility -> immediate localization

2. It is possible to assign an AHU’s configuration to a buoy and, if there is a mismatch between the buoy’s configuration and the AHU’s configuration, the WDM will immediately alert the responsible (AHU’s positive in a negative room)

WDM Maintenance and Upgrading Agreement:

As any other Software, also the WDM application needs to be kept updated and maintained.

Our Tecniplast Service has specific sofwtare engineers devoted to do this.

What is included into this contract ?- Remote assistance and installation- Acknoledge of any problem within 48hrs and bugfixing.- Maintenance and upgrading.- Updating to any newest release with other modules

TP code: IC-VEN-0015

Net Price:120€ each RUI400 for the TCC

WDM FUNDAMENTAL STEPS

In any WDM sale, the customer’s IT MANAGER must be involved from the beginning !!!

We must install a Software on the customer’s servers, so, especially for security issues, we cannot proceed without sharing all these information with the IT MANAGER.

WDM requires an already installed network in the Facility (we don’t install the wifi for instance).

Here in Tecniplast, we have a WDM installation for DEMO purpose, please use it

Keeping an eye on Tecniplast future

projects

CONFIDENTIAL

We started in US in 2009…

• Potential requirements beyond current IVC housing• Assessing the current level of penetration of “Electronic Systems” into the Laboratory Animal Industry• Potential uncovered needs

Then also 3 Focus groups run worldwide

What is now under development is something really worldwide discussed along these last 2

years…

CONFIDENTIAL

Just some future benefits…

CONFIDENTIAL

Are you distressed by possible

equipment faults ?

Do you know you could better manage your cages and your

running costs ?

Are you always sure that water bottles are in

place and not empty or just missing ?

Are you satisfied by your animal daily check ? Would you like any help to better focus on

specific cages if possible ?

Would you like to always know in real time where all your

cages are ?

Would you like a system that can help you to standardize the cage

condition ?

How ???

CONFIDENTIAL

Without changing anything about your current IVC cages !!!

Tecniplast is developing a smart electronic system, integrated at rack level,

that will allow this !!!

Are you interested?

Please schedule a private meeting with Scanbur people

and we will go through a specific private meeting during

the next SCANDLAS or the next months.
